If you can't log in to your old account, you gotta wait a few months until telegram deletes it as an account with zero activity. After that, your username becomes free again. However, you can log wherever you are. The main thing is your phone number or an open app on the other device.

From my personal experience, as long as you remember the number registered and have access to it, then you shouldn't have a problem.

You can login to the same telegram account with the old login credentials will all the chats and other backup as before.So no need to worry.

Kind of misleading title though.
